Duc de Champlain

Duc de Champlain (died 1654) was an explorer of the Kingdom of France who established the colony of Saint-Estephe in the Caribbean. Born in Bordeaux, Aquitaine, he named the colony after a town in that region, and he would attempt to scout out the south of the island for future settlement. However, he was killed by a disembarking army of pirates and soldiers from England shortly before the Sack of Saint-Estephe.
